A: I believe so. from what i heard the 3060 is as powerful as the 2070 super version so your definitely getting more power. My only concern is that this version only has 6 GB of GDDR6 video memory whereas the 2070 Max Q version has 8 GB of GDDR6 video memory. I think in the long run though that the 3060 version will infact be more powerful then the 2070 version.
A: Imma go ahead and 2nd that no.
Q: Is the rtx 3060 a low or high watt gpu? (max-p or max-q)
A: You could say it's a Max-Q, it's a 80 [W] variant, but if I'm not wrong it can get up to 95 [W] with Dynamic Boost. All MSI GS66 with an RTX 30 have a TDP of 80 W.
Q: What are the watts on this laptop?
A: in terms of the GPU? I hear Stealth series is limited to 80W.
A: No, only if you damage the system doing so.
Q: How is the temperature/fps when playing high intense games at high or max settings?
A: Temp is very good when Dragon Center was working it was about 74 degrees when playing. I have good framerates in my MMORPGs; some in 70s and more intense phases around mid 30s.
A: This chassis features 2 x 240-pin SO-DIMM slots, so yes you can upgrade the memory. As it ships however, both banks are filled with 2 x 8Gb sticks, so you would have to swap them both out for 2 x 16Gb sticks to get 32Gb. Having said that, most games don't see much benefit in greater than 16Gb of total RAM, so unless you are planning on using it for rendering, video editing etc I'd recommend on just seeing how you do with the factory sticks. The 3060 also allows resizeable BAR which makes the GPUs 6Gb VRAM available to the CPU but i'm not sure how this translates in reality - might be more of a gimmick!
Q: RAM memory is soldered to the board?
A: No, you should be able to switch them out if you want to.
